    Thank you to everyone for your wonderful performances! It was a nice accompaniment to my morning coffee(s) and I was so impressed by everyone’s playing and the amount of effort you all put in. (I was also SUPER impressed by Roger’s Swedish pronunciation. I have no idea if it was accurate, but it sure sounded cool!) Congrats to everyone and Happy Holidays!

    Peace,

    Dave B (CGC team)

    Roger,

    Thank you for the most wonderful holiday episode. My heart was captivated from the moment I heard the very first sounds of the Carol of the Bells. It is a beautiful kaleidoscope of music, people, memories, emotions and wishes for the future.

    I can’t thank you enough Roger, for all the effort you put into assembling this wonderful podcast, and many thanks as well to all the CGC artists who contributed so many incredibly enjoyable, inventive, and well played holiday pieces. I can’t think of a better way to tie a big bright red bow on CGC’s tenth year! Oh, and your Swedish? – Fantastisk! Finally, a hearty DC Corner shout out to SoCal Corner – ¡Bravísimo!

    Wow. Just wow. It’s Christmas Eve morning here and I have just taken a moment to listen to this. What amazing performances and such inspiration for those of us earlier on in our classical guitar journey’s …it has inspired me to keep on practicing my ‘Happy Couples” ! Thanks Roger and everyone 👍

Thank you for each of these outstanding musical gifts and thank you Roger, for another memorable Holiday Episode. Very best regards to all!

    What a wonderful holiday podcast to play Christmas morning! A superb collection from our friends at CGCA! So inspiring! I’m determined to prepare a holiday piece for next year. I had paper and pencil ready on the second listen to write down titles and arrangers. Hal Leonard’s Fingerstyle Yuletide is in my shopping cart. Everyone played so well and the distance collaborations were amazing. I think that online ensemble playing will never ever go away! And Mark and Narayan, forward thinking as always, started it way before the pandemic! Thank you Roger! Happy Holidays!

    Just finished listening to this astounding collection of wonderful guitar compositions and playing performances by CGCA members. Thanks to all of you, and most certainly to Roger for his masterful combining of pieces and hosting; it has been the most relaxing and joyous hour of great guitar music by gifted guitarists.

    Roger, thank you for putting together this podcast. I didn’t get a chance to listen to it until Christmas Day while I prepared our (sometimes) traditional lasagna for dinner. Everyone who played did great and it was such on treat on Christmas Day.
